was. another sign of an invitation for n.s.a. leaker edward snowden as the bolivian president says he's ready to welcome the whistleblower it's requested that's after the venezuelan leader offers him humanitarian asylum. deadly divide in egypt opponents and backers of also president morsi push on with their rival rallies that's as tensions are continue to rise amid country's political deadlock. and the wall over privacy the e.u. threatens to scrap the data sharing with the u.s. over the n.s.a.'s ball snooping program despite revelations france is embracing similar tactics.
6:01 pm
wherever you're watching from around the world this is all good to have you with us i'm to bomb would say let's take a look at the news of the south why bolivia's joined to other latin american countries and extending a helping hand to the man who exposed a world wide surveillance by the u.s. government that was snowden's i finally started receiving asylum office after being stranded in the transit zone of moscow's eyeshadow mutable airport for two weeks the latest from artie's tom bottom. might it be the end for edward snowden's two weeks of isolation here at the transit zone at moscow's sheremetyevo airport nobody's actually seen him for those two weeks but there seems to be a glimmer of hope for the whistleblower with three countries now having offered him asylum the latest of a libya that followed spent his whaler earlier president nicolas maduro said that
6:02 pm
they would offer the whistleblower asylum if you could get them but also you carol i have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young american edward snowden in the homeland of simon bolivar and others and snowden can come and live here away from the persecution of american imperialism we've also had heard from evo morales the president of bolivia who issued a similarly strong statement after his plane was forced to touch down in austria amid reported fears of e.u. states that snowden was on board and that they reportedly stopped him and made his plane land because of that he gave a tongue lashing at the time and he has lashed out again now he is huge and they think they can humiliate and subdue us by blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making a change our policies there will make our own decisions and they can't pressure us into doing what they want there's also daniel ortega of nicaragua he
6:03 pm
say's that if the circumstances were appropriate to them they also could offer edward snowden asylum all of this a glimmer of hope for the now famous or infamous depending on how you look at it worldwide mass surveillance whistleblower edward snowden's biggest problem or at least the most obvious one is that he hasn't got any documents to allow him to travel as u.s. passport has been. by the u.s. he traveled from hong kong to. moscow on a document provided by ecuador which they later admitted was a mistake of theirs so at the moment it does seem some kind of paperwork would have to be issued by whichever state he tried to work to fly to then there's also the problem of air space to fly to venezuela or even to bolivia which there are no direct flights from moscow he would have to go most probably cuba perhaps somewhere
6:04 pm
else but if he went via cuba it is possible he may have to pass through u.s. airspace which could present a problem for obvious reasons and then there's also the problem that morales himself face which is crossing e.u. airspace that they may want to stop any plane if they thought that it was trying to travel illegally on a plane all of this potentially complicating which ever country snowden tries to go to. now snowden applied for asylum all over the world but his requests have been rejected by a host of nations including european ones founder of wide awake news charlie mcgrath says that is nations don't want to upset the u.s. spy snowden revealing how most of washington spied on them. the laundry list of nations that snowden has applied to for asylum include scores these european nations that are just all giving the same excuses that he's got to either show up on their soil or in their embassy you know the information that's been released has
6:05 pm
shown that our allies in europe were the one the in a lot of cases the ones being spied on so for them just to play the well we don't want to we don't want to upset the americans so we're going to give the standard answer no you know no comment or he's got to show up at the embassy it's it's very much a pressure rating for people like me that want to see the truth come out even when you expose the truth even when you give it this truth to the people who are being spied on they won't step up and support troops so yeah it is a bit frustrating to you to see these european nations just kind of ignore this outright spying that's happening. prior to any you also appears no stranger to spying on its citizens that's not that's revealed out france also has a large scale e-stop and program report suggests huge amounts of phone and internet data being monitored and stored in a giant bunker beneath paris say without more details coming up later.
6:06 pm
by the age of security forces have reinforced their position after the muslim brotherhood supporters valid for the protests until they deposed president mohamed morsi is back in poem or near pro reform leader mohamed el baradei was named as the interim prime minister while it now appears that the deal putting him in pro i has unraveled days kind of to see was apparently blocked by mohamed line muslim party policy as in cairo for us. egypt still remains shoppy divided between both pro and anti morsi supporters both groups are calling for mass demonstrations on sunday so there are real concerns that you will have a repeat of violence come sunday here in town here which has been the focal point of the anti macy can call the better part of the week the protesters with this demanding and then celebrating the overthrow of mossi they want to make sure that they demand still remains popular but being pro morsy supporters are vowing that
6:07 pm
they will not leave the streets until their president is reinstated now the worst of violence was on friday night some thirty six people were killed more than a thousand injured when the two sides clashed on a local bridge the protesters hurled molotov cocktails chunks of pavement blocks and stones at each other for the better part of three hours before the army intervened and that has raised serious questions that are not being honest with the gyptian society as to the role and the objectivity of the military on saturday we saw many of the funerals for being victims of those who were killed in the day before i spent part of saturday filming at some of those funerals heart wrenching scenes in front of the cairo university bridge men and women crying a lot of emotion but no doubt calls for retribution and for tele ation. part for more analysis we're not going to live all by political activists yesterday as well mr as well despite earlier reports
6:08 pm
a government spokesman says negotiations on the new prime minister is still under way now what do you think the outcome will be innocent. i believe there is now the discussion regarding who is the next technocrat or sim i political leader that can run the country in the interim. that i that he's a frontrunner obviously supported by the rebel and is a coalition of opposition. groups but however that. there are what i have mentioned cairo staunch opposition from hard line islamists that are now present in this discussion i believe the outcome would be it was someone who would bring the conciliation was a figure that is accepted by the international community but how do you bring a divided society together seeing the latest developments in egypt how are you
6:09 pm
going to bring everybody together. it's very very hard to watch the development that's happened in the last. four or five days since june thirtieth it is just astonishing to see the hard line. that most of the brotherhood have taking and announcing a demonstration that is going to be violent in the situation and i think this lots of work done by the politico and john pretty good establishment the president . unlike the present that's in place now look at the. monsoor and and actually on the. the military to work on showing that they are not involved in the development of the country and with transparency they're going to hand it down to handed down this administration to i let me also hear this then to say smiled the u.s. has been the one country who said that what happened at the events that happened in
6:10 pm
egypt where minutes he could what's washington's role in all of this. i think water does involve an egyptian. has a very special place in the middle east and work for movement in the political situation and there was a long history of relationship between american and mr asian and interactions with muslim brotherhood even at the time of obama the open communication was open between them and the best actress and she is intimately involved in the daily development in egypt today but i don't think the american administration has made up their mind yet who to bet on. ok so the americans say this could have been this is possibly a military coup they gyptian people are saying this is not a minute a military coup this was the will of the people did think they gyptian military is a neutral average in this crisis. i am not
6:11 pm
a big fan of the military makes a stoutish run to run country i suffered from that live in egypt for all my life. but i believe in instances. it's it's a cool but it's not that and instigated. that sense that we used to understand the general amounts of thanks and to get present hostages actually millions and millions of egyptians went out and actually there was a popular referendum on the performance of the president eleven million voted for him and the least estimate the people that walked in on the street on june thirtieth between seventeen to this three million so i think he was the polls by the way the people but definitely the military have even the people to set the president morsi of the regime and was acting as a fascist theocracy and changing the fundamental establishing in
6:12 pm
in a normal country life from judiciary. the constitution that was built by good people wonderful people not representing the entire country so there's many sure that the space he never has been fulfilled that dream of the people of the glorious revolution in the twenty fifth of january but i have to place well. this in the sink in the economy it's really very challenging. position for people on the equipment it's rampant there's nothing that treaty was positive that happened and on top of that they feel that their freedom being ruled by. completely the people that trusted by the muslim brotherhood every walk of life in every governor governor but in this thing and state in egypt so it was very very challenging for people to withstand one more day the one you know figure by them or by them what do you do to say that the people were a little bit impatient that i mean like you said the air. spring revolution was
6:13 pm
a momentous. historical moment in egyptian history and then one year of morsi. which they voted him in them in should they not have given him a little bit of time to they just being impatient and will this filter another revolution see what the events that has happened now. on the surface it seem like it's a short period of time there's egypt recently it's very very challenging to walk on the streets safely mugging carjacking and kidnapping. the jobless people it's the lack of gasoline you stand in line to want to get what five liter at the end that i've been seeing. it's six eight ten hours a day in cairo museum metropolis people get to play see you cannot withstand the inefficiency of this dam and. all the people working in that cabinet this
6:14 pm
inefficient in that way of handing situation special thing that national security under he's in or he's running it's you while he's in if you will announce the opening of a major down that will halt water supply from the united to egypt which is very strategic and a national security issue for leader and he has not made much of. that should much of leadership and to respond to this kind of issue so people i guess yes it's a short time but you need to for that reason many many fareed and you cannot stand it when what if you stay two three at the d.c. that is going to make a difference yes that is going to end the point and that and they're going that it's going to spill to other places i think this is the the world is watching to tunisia are watching and i will say so walking and they don't accept. government and leadership that is not to live to the expectation and aspiration of their nation where you have me nor is it we hear no definitely yeah yeah the world is listening to you as well yes that is
6:15 pm

6:17 pm
messy eavesdropping on you up these demanding complete transparency and maximum information from the u.s. spied recent reports revealing its own snooping activities france is believed to be running a version all the n.s.a. the infamous the present program artie's maria for nelson investigates. please building behind me in the eastern part of paris or rather the story bunker underneath that is the epicenter of a fresh spy scandal the hatch quilter's of the country's security services and it's from here that it's no kind of france's big brother snoops which people money touring the millions of phone calls text messages faxes and emails. cogently break. the french public essentially know very much you they've been receiving conflicting messages from their leadership like the first here we have to relations over america's espionage olando condemned america say it's fine it's not what this do now it's been revealed france isn't south doing exactly what it just
6:18 pm
very vocally denounced french officials are downplaying allegations over the country's surveillance program claiming the reports are inexact the revelations of attitude and the ever growing list of embarrassments for the country as freelance journalist robert hahn is explains. there is a very substantial operation in france are. a total of twenty listening posts across the world and five of them are in the french form of the french overseas territories one time colonies of the six one in djibouti. and they have another fourteen impromptu cell having it proves conclusively that it's illegal in many families it's so embarrassing because it fits so badly with the rhetoric of western politicians and the french are bad as the rest of going on about their values and having us be democratic and you must do everything legally and so on and the french
6:19 pm
had a disastrous to week particularly because they led the blocking of edward snowden. getting a break for lunch he was on an airplane flying to south america then a cause he was and. that made them look pretty stupid because it snowden who revealed information which enabled self-righteous and then measure to know how did this happen when the limo formed which is a big newspaper in france of course reveal that the french were doing themselves anyway so i mean if you read one of the weeks i have no doubt that the french president the french foreign office would like to forget. now for some other international news increases the solemn and airliner has crash landed at san francisco international airport leaving at least two dead and as a sixty injured asiana boring as seven triple seven came to rest as just off the runway before bursting into flames i would as a speaker of the plane the tail section breaking off before touchdown the pilot
6:20 pm
apparently made no distress call for prior prior landing now the south korean flight two fourteen from four had a three hundred three passengers and a crew onboard. at least one person has been killed after a train carrying crude oil derailed and burst into flames in canada's province of key back and. people are missing as explosion level dozens of nearby buildings while around eighty thousand people were forced to flee their homes this amateur footage shows the intensity of the blast while reports a large amount of toxic chemicals are spilled into a river close to the scene. as if the global economic rivalry between washington and beijing wasn't enough chinese investors are now preparing a massive project right in america's backyard the construction of a canal connecting the atlantic to the pacific ocean through. nicaragua is due to begin next years sponsored by a chinese firm arches kitty pilgrim reports the idea of
6:21 pm
a counter in nicaragua has been kicking around for over one hundred fifty years now that a chinese businessman has jumped up forty billion dollars from global investors it could become a reality now the owner of hong kong based hate n. d. group is planning to start building the canal in twenty forty which they claim will be ready for action by twenty twenty so let's have a look at the market there will be able to see that the plan is to build one hundred seventy eight mile waterway connecting the caribbean and the pacific and it would be three times longer than the panama canal which took a decade to complete now the group faces wide criticism over its plans and i spoke to asia expert david q who dismissed the venture as a joke. i'm hoping it's a joke i'm just hoping that it maybe some some things on. too much
6:22 pm
time because if you think about it if there wasn't already a canal. the west and east you wouldn't really sort of think about putting one in the ground we were only when it was a really really good one it's a reason why animal target was because it was the shortest distance between the atlantic and pacific so why on earth anybody want to be neutral you know that it's actually going from east to the west coast big just doesn't make any sense to me. but the investors behind the project insist that world trade needs a new raise and that the panama canal is not enough to handle the trade already conducted between the east and west so those who are laughing at the project right now might just have to change their tune if this game changing projects succeeds. the long awaited a world a university games got underway with a spectacular opening ceremony to welcome the world to the capital of russia's
6:23 pm
republic of tatarstan multi-sport competition this summer university aided sweeney thirteen is seen as a major step along the road to russia's hosting our future high profile sporting events president of let me uproot into his place in the front row was got was at the ceremony for us. have just come from the stadium you can see behind me at the theme is russia russian history and russian culture is a rare opportunity for russia to show off russia to the rest of the world what russia does indeed have to offer. is being beamed live into a one hundred eighty different countries and viewers are being treated to a combination of dogs music fireworks as i say a rather remarkable pyrotechnic display as well but this has been five years in the planning since because it was awarded the games back in two thousand and eighteen since then the city has gone undergone

6:25 pm
a little bit too late we go there with the will be ready on time. sometimes of igor some of the things this is but i would say that quite confident hosting an event like this doesn't come cheaply official estimates say these games have cost up to five billion u.s. dollars because iran has seen a complete overhaul of its infrastructure with. development of new hotels a new transport network installed and around half of the sixty four sporting venues that they built from scratch on this is the jewel in the crown the cars. forty five thousand. will be packed to the rafters what is hoped to be a spectacular opening ceremony mori about his legacy because as of next season russian premier league side. will be playing the. it's all set to be a venue. football world cup but of course it's not just on dry land where the medals are going to be decided here the aquatics palace swimming synchronized

6:28 pm
south carolina's playing around with the idea of using shame plates which are license plates that can display special messages the department of motor vehicles would have complete access to all these plates and be able to display text on them like suspended uninsured amber alert or stolen you know i actually don't mind the idea of using shame as a punishment i guess it could be a real deterrent to have drunken loser written over the license plate of someone who drinks and drives in fact drug driving plates have been in place in some states for a while but the problem is that more often than not shame penalties aren't the punishment for a crime but just a bonus one in my native ohio you can go to jail for three to thirty days and have your license suspended for one to three years for driving which is a brutal punishment in a country where everyone drives to work you see people are already punished for drunk driving and in america when you pay your debt to society i.e.
6:29 pm
you get out of jail you're supposed to have a clean slate but the bonus license plate suspension and possible punishment plates make this a triple sentence ignoring the fact that the government will be able to practically display words on your person like a brand on cattle is bad enough but multiple punishments for the same crime scene. like a bit of a she thing than me but that's just my opinion.
